Never Too Early To Go Gucci

$250 jeans?
$825 backpacks?
Who pays these prices for children's clothes and accessories?

Well, I guess wealthy New Yorkers do.

$3,800 biker jackets and $500 handbags: Gucci opens first standalone CHILDREN'S boutique in New York

A white 'faux-wrap' dress costs $495, and a baby winter quilted down coat, complete with fur and a hood, will set a new parent back a cool $795.

But the king of the crop is an adult-style biker jacket in powder pink - a pretty penny for any princess at an eye-watering $3,800.

With stylist Rachel Zoe's eight-month-old son Skyler already getting a taste for $1000 Gucci jackets, he may be in line for some of the store's newest offerings.
The fashion house last year donated $1 million to UNICEF's Schools for Africa and $50,000 to Lopez's Maribel Initiative to celebrate their children's line.

It amuses me that the article would mention Rachel Zoe's son and his $1000 Gucci jacket....as if she had had to actually purchase it.  It had to have been donated swag....which is pure marketing for the brand. 

I'm also amused by the timing of this store opening
and a little surprised that we don't have a "Occupy Gucci"
